TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes.
Now as we find, while there is not as yet a great deal of improvement, there is at least no great amount of strength or vitality lost.
There are still those conditions arising from the accumulations about the pocket of the lungs. These, to be sure, are in the present the most detrimental condition.
Hence there is the need, as indicated, that there be kept such an activity that the disturbance does not turn upon the activity of the liver AND the lower hepatic circulation; or liver and kidneys.
Hence there needs to be those suggestions kept as to diet, as to inhalations, as to the air even that is kept in the room. Keep these consistently; and do not give up hope of there being improvements.
It would be well if the attitude of the body were turned more to constructive and spiritual thinking. This will make for that hopefulness, that attitude of using the opportunity in the experience for the greater expression.
Later, as indicated, if there is the strength gained, there may be the necessity for the drawing off of the fluids that have accumulated and are accumulating. In the present there is NOT sufficient strength for same.
We would keep, then, those things that have been suggested; without, in the immediate present, any change.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is the body getting enough nourishment?
(A) If it is given as often as desired, the nourishment is very well. This may be added to, if the body is able to assimilate it, see?
(Q) You mean more in quantity, or in different kinds of nourishment?
(A) More of the same kind; of that which is easily assimilated and that enables the body to gain from the assimilation all of the strength and vitality as is possible, see?
(Q) Is the body absorbing the fluid?
(A) If the eliminations are kept as indicated for same, it is absorbing - but eliminating also.
(Q) Does the body show any improvement?
(A) As just indicated, there's not such a great amount of improvement, but even the "staying" of the inroads is an improvement, to be sure.
There isn't QUITE as much temperature shown at all times. This necessarily will continue, until there is sufficient strength for either the removal of same by and through the system or from the external. This is why, then, as indicated, it is necessary that the assimilation and elimination be kept at its highest peak in the body.
Don't overcrowd, overfeed, but give all the body CAN assimilate.
Be sure there are the eliminations through the kidneys and through the alimentary canal at least once or twice each day.
(Q) What can the body do to get more sleep?
(A) This as we find is necessitated by that very fact of the temperature, but just remain quiet and keep that attitude of constructive thinking. Meditate upon the promises of ETERNAL life as is offered to thee in Him. Read - not merely read but assimilate - those promises through the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of John. Apply them to self. This will bring the ability to rest most of any activity.
(Q) What causes the fluid and are the pleural walls infected?
(A) The activity of the fluid is the natural consequence of the system's attempting to allay fever about the lungs. That there is in the present a bettered condition in the lungs has SLOWED the quantity of fluid about same.
(Q) How can the eliminations be best kept?
(A) By oil AND enemas; Olive Oil in small quantities.
(Q) Any other suggestions?
(A) Do these as we find; which offers the greater possibility, the greater probabilities for help for this body. We are through with this Reading.
